    @everybody I love you aka shameless plug....
    My boys band CD reviewed.... Savannah KingSavannah and The Kings - Bold & Unsteady - When Savannah King started playing music she set out as an independent solo alternative folk artist with a guitar, great voice and plenty of well written songs. Along the way she picked up three amazing band mates (Mark Bamann -lead guitar, Loren Metzger -drums and Scott Gergelis -bass) andmorphed into a front person for her band Savannah and The Kings. Their new release Bold & Unsteadyis filled with memorable melodies and King's lilting voice all framed by the band's no frills approach. Touches of jazz (courtesy of Gergelis' outstanding upright bass playing), pop, folk and indie rock meld together for a cohesive sound. No self-indulgent doodling, no gimmicks, no unnecessary window dressings among the arrangements. Highlights among the twelve tracks include the album opener "Sour Milk", "Rabbit Run", "Are You Salt?", "Let Me Go" and "Houdini". The tracks "It's Just Water" and "Fruit Tree" are standouts as well. King and her band keep a busy live calendar playing everywhere from intimate clubs to large summer venues.

    mmm hmmm...Robert Plant is Holly approved! On waves of love my heart is breaking And stranger still my self control I can't rely on anymore New tides surprise - my world it's changing Within this frame an ocean swells - behind this smile I know it well Beneath a lover's moon I'm waiting I am the pilot of the storm - adrift in pleasure I may drown I built this ship - it is my making And furthermore my self control I can't rely on anymore I know why - I know why Crazy on a ship of fools Crazy on a ship of fools Turn this boat around - back to my loving ground Who claims that no man is an island While I land up in jeopardy - more distant from you by degrees I walk this shore in isolation And at my feet eternity draws ever sweeter plans for me I know why - I know why Crazy on a ship of fools Crazy on a ship of fools Turn this boat around - back to my loving ground Oh no, oh no - ship of fools --

    @ true but...
    I would venture to say that those who stormed the gates were not actual deadheads but merely people who wanted a taste of the magic or to obtain party favors etc... There was a suspicious character who milled around me in the aisle on the Saturday show who I'm pretty sure was eyeing my dead50 tote bag and was thinking about lifting it. I was dancing and he was seated in teh aisle. As soon as I sat down he took off. He was acting sketchy...looking around all weird. Those types of leeches always try to glom on the scene to suck what they can from it... They are the exception that proves the rule. Meet me in the crowd, people, people Throw your love around, love me, love me Take it into town, happy, happy Put it in the ground where the flowers grow Gold and silver shine Shiny happy people holding hands Shiny happy people holding hands Shiny happy people laughing Everyone around, love them, love them Put it in your hands, take it, take it There's no time to cry, happy, happy Put it in your heart where tomorrow shines Gold and silver shine Shiny happy people holding hands Shiny happy people holding hands Shiny happy people laughing Whoa, here we go Shiny happy people holding hands Shiny happy people holding hands Shiny happy people laughing Shiny happy people holding hands Shiny happy people holding hands Shiny happy people laughing Shiny happy people holding hands Shiny happy people holding hands Shiny happy people laughing Shiny happy people holding hands People, happy people People

Happy weekend to all. Hey spascarella, I would weigh your level of timing-stress against cost of rental car. Whichever provides you with greater peace of mind... go for it. My two pennies.

Agree with Stella- rental so you don't goMental , but if you don't need it for all the days, see if you can drop it off In Santa Clara once you get in town.

...about a meet and greet. I will start checking around the area for a place we can do a beforehand something or other. Most likely informal I would presume. Let me think on it and start looking. Maybe as mayor I can form a sub committee and delegate to get some local (or more local) help. I am 2 1/2 hours away and haven't been to Levi's yet so I'm not too familiar with what's around there. I have been to Great America amusement park many years ago (before there was a Levi's) and it is right next door. There should be someplace close by, plus I have a hotel room 1 mi. away. We'll figure something out. Alright Sheriff, looks like we have another spreadsheet column. - your Mayor this message is officially endorsed by Klangstone Productions. Ltd
